James76255 reviewed “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed, and hence clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” in Menckenisms:

Of course it happens, but not all of them are imaginary. There are terrorists out there, they are killing people, and it didn't stem from someone's imagination. On the other side of the coin, Swine Flu rather quickly went from talk of a pandemic to "Eh, just wash your hands."

James76255 reviewed From 30 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 10 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away. in Quotations from Raymond Chandler:

I've seen more than my share of these. From a distance the body looks good and the hair looks great. Up close there is a face only a mother could love. Of course, I say this knowing full well that these ladies might tell the same story about me.

James76255 reviewed Adopt from a Shelter! (no pet stores!!) in Animal Rights:

I absolutely agree with this. So much so I am going to steal this forum for a moment to write what is essentially a non review, but something that I hope will do some good.

I've been asked to help find a home for a dog in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas. They call him Dan and he is a Great Dane/Rotweiler mix, probably somewhere between 1 and 2 years old. He's a good natured dog, leash trained and house trained, and would best be an inside dog. He has been declawed, nuetered, and is up to date on his shots. I've been told to emphasize HE DOES NOT LIKE CATS. However, there is no indication he wouldn't get along with other dogs.

Dan is at the Horseshoe Bend Animal Control Shelter. They can only keep animals a certain amount of time before they have to be put down and Dan's time is running short. You can email them at sillysetters1@aol.com or call (870) 670-4664. It costs $50 to adopt a dog from this shelter. If you need help you can contact me through this site and I'll pass anything along or do what I can to help.

Horseshoe Bend is about halfway between Little Rock, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee, so if you know anyone in that area that might be interested, pass this along to them.

You can see pictures and a video of Dan here.

Yes, I'm bumping. Yes, I'm hoping more people see this.

James76255 reviewed Ran out of gas in Lousy Situations:

This hasn't happened to me in years, back when money was tighter and priorities were different (beer first, then gas). However I was pushing it earlier this year as I was coming back from Lexington, Kentucky. I misjudged how far I had to go to Nashville, and by the time I got there that night I was frighteningly close to E. I was having trouble getting right to take an exit, but finally managed to do so. Just as I was pulling up to the pumps the idiot light came on telling me I was low on fuel. That's as close as I care to come to running out of gas on the freeway in Nashville. Or anywhere else for that matter.

James76255 reviewed Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) in Non-Profit Organizations:

Only the truly delusional or uninformed still consider this group bi-partisan or a legitimate non-profit organization. I suppose it's possible they consider themselves bi-partisan because President Obama is both a liberal and a Democrat, but they are anything but bi-partisan in the traditional sense. Of course, they get a pass from the MSM, which has no liberal slant no none whatsoever....

James76255 reviewed The End of The World in Things that You Are Afraid Of:

I guess everyone believes it will happen sooner or later, and I've never seen the sense in fearing the inevitable. If it should happen in my lifetime I just hope I'm not doing something that sucks, like waiting in line behind someone buying a ton of lottery tickets or rushing to the bathroom.

When the world ends, there will be a lot of questions answered. A lot of people will be proven right, a lot of them proven wrong, and nobody will be left to gloat or make a "Now that the world is over" list.

James76255 commented on a review of It should be legal for cases of rape and incest in Poor Arguments for Abortion:

Lena, did I say there were as many single fathers in the country as there were single mothers? No. I said I knew more women that left their children with the father than the other way around. That's me personally. If I say I've met William Shatner it doesn't mean I think everyone has met William Shatner.

Aside from that, I should point out that your numbers also don't tell the whole story. There are several reasons a household might be a single parent household.

James76255 commented on a review of It should be legal for cases of rape and incest in Poor Arguments for Abortion:

I'm not entirely sure where you see unfair judgement and like it or not I do have an opinion on the subject. You may not like it when people speak for those that can't speak for themselves, but you'll just have to live with it. I seriously doubt you refrain from voicing your opinion on matters in which you "have no rights". As far as the mother being bound to the child, you are making assumptions. In fact, when I stop to think about it, I actually know more women that have left thier children with the father than the stereotypical other way around.
